Black Students At Duke Demand A Change.

DURHAM, N.C. -- A group of about two dozen Duke University students urged
administrators Tuesday to create a better climate and provide more financial
support for black students, saying they've been disappointed so far in how top
officials have reacted to their viewpoints.

The students, almost all of whom were black, unsuccessfully sought a meeting
with university President Richard Brodhead at his campus office in hopes of
explaining a document they describe as a call to action for the prestigious,
private southern school.
